11: Thou shall not use a handicap stall unless all other stalls are begotten or you’re pretty sure you can hastily drop thy kids off at thy pool.

I’ve often heard handicapped people claim they just want to be treated like the rest of us. I’m fine with that, so long as they recognize that means sometimes waiting in line at the $**tter like everybody else.
Sometimes I can drop the kids off at the pool quite hastily, other times…I really have to push them out…of, um…the car.
Sorry to all the handicapped people, but there’s no other realistic way to change a diaper in most men’s rooms. Most still don’t have changing tables, and those only work for really small infants anyway. You need some sort of containment mechanism, and normal stalls are too small. If you do it outside the stalls you’re likely to be stepped on (people are a TAD distracted). And the counter is not an option. So yeah, when I have to change a boy’s diaper, I use the handicapped stall. If there was a better way I’d use it.
I bet that was on the tablet Moses dropped
Technically, the stalls are there for their “convenience”, not strictly for their use only, unlike marked parking spots. It’s impossible to regulate toilet stalls in the real world, so don’t feel guilty. Frankly, when I’m wrangling a little kid, a big bag, and a desperate need to go, anybody else can just wait.
Is that old Phil with more beard on the first pannel?
I knew you didn´t rate his name, but crippling him after his debut seems kind of harsh!
I think that is Colonel Sanders.
I love that bathroom. It’s got that high, high toilet. I feel like a gargoyle perched on the ledge of a building – George Costanza
It’s funny how a bathroom won’t have a single handicapped person visit it for months at a time, but:
That ONE time you close the stall door and drop your drawers, here comes the bottom of a wheelchair wheel into view under the dividers.
That’s Murphy’s Law of the Shitter. I imagine that handicapped people probably only have to go at places that don’t have a handicapped stall.
I always try to avoid using the handicap stall whenever possible. I don’t think I could handle the shame of walking out of the handicap stall and see a man in a wheelchair waiting for me to leave with 4 empty, normal-sized stalls next to him.
